Agreed. The cast for this is completely nuts

I was surprised I actually really like Seth Rogen as Allen

He was leagues better than I’d thought he’d be.

u/alanamablamaspama Allen the Alien Mar 26 '21

I definitely like it better than I thought I would, but I’m curious if he’ll hold up in more serious situations.

That was exactly my thought. Seth worked great for the initial appearance of Allen with the confusion between Earth and Urath, but I'm curious how his voice will match some of the more serious moments later on. I'm kind of swimming in uncharted territory here considering I'm only on Issue #44 but I've seen enough of Allen being more serious and it's getting harder to hear Rogen's voice saying some of those bits of exposition as I read

I think agreeable surprised. Seth Rogan can actually be a really good actor when he wants to be.

I'm more interested in hearing Jason Mantzoukas as Robot, I don't think I've ever seen him with a personality that wasn't exactly like Rex Splode

u/prfarb Mar 26 '21

Wait thats wild. I didn't know he was voicing him as well. I cant help but hear Jake when Rex talks lol.

u/[deleted] Mar 26 '21

I don't know for sure, I'm just assuming he will since Robot ends up in a clone of Rex's body

Oh shit you are right. I forgot about that. It's been a while and I still need to read the last compendium. I started reading again from the beginning and its crazy how much they actually changed so far.

I just finished the series about two weeks ago, I think most of the changes have been decent, nothing to be upset about. ..but I'm sure others will find something.

They've tightened it up a lot, which is great. Trying to adapt as much of the series without needing to take 10 seasons will be key to making this a success. 5-6 seasons of 8 episodes to get through the story is a great pace.

u/TheSupaCoopa Mar 27 '21

I hear Derek lol

u/[deleted] Mar 31 '21

I kind of hope they go the other route and keep Zachary Quinto as the voice for both, to show he's different than Rex (and less emotional). Mantzoukas is too zany for that role.

u/SolidlyClothedSnake Comic Fan Mar 27 '21

Allen and Eve are fantastic casting. Cecil and his young guy, not gravely voice on the other hand...

u/[deleted] Mar 27 '21

Yeah it was a bit weird

u/Tellesus Monster Girl Mar 27 '21

I honestly always thought he'd be perfect for it
